CD School Board made bus transportation miscue

Christian Malesic, the president of the Central Dauphin School Board, says it is not the Central Dauphin taxpayers' money being spent on the continued legal battle with the Central Dauphin Bus Drivers Association. He states that it is from the funds of the sale of the buses that the school district owned and sold to Durham.

I might not be a school board president, but as a taxpayer, Mr. Malesic sold school district assets, that in all sense of the word, are "assets" that rightfully belong to the taxpayers who purchased them. I do not remember where we, as taxpayers of the Central Dauphin School District, gave school board members the right to convert district assets for their personal political vendettas.

Why can't the board admit it made a mistake in moving forward in contracting out the bus transportation and cut its losses and let us move forward? The contract will eventually expire, and at that point in time the issue can be reviewed.

This attitude of shoving decisions down the taxpayers' throats must be halted. The lawyers for the Central Dauphin School District will get rich, the lawyers for the Central Dauphin Bus Drivers Association will get rich and we, the taxpayers, will end up footing the bill.
